Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffered a new blow after losing the derby with Manchester City 2-0, and his hand-picked captain Maguire publicly admitted that the team had lost faith in the second half and no longer thought the team had a chance to equalize or even overtake.
In a post-match interview, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was suddenly asked what he thought of Maguire's post-match statement that United had lost faith. "They say they've lost their faith?" Suo Shuai was a little overwhelmed, frowned and asked confusedly.
Reporters told him: "Yes, Maguire just said that in the second half the team or some of the players lacked faith and did not think they could equalize. I know that psychology is very important to you, so can you tell me how worried you are about this?"
Hearing this, Suo Shuai's face immediately darkened, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and then responded: "This is a big problem, but we are all human." Now, my task is to prepare for the next game and get the players back to have the right spirit, the spirit of the winner, the more positive spirit. Of course, when you're playing, you can lose confidence in a game because you can't touch the ball at all. We're good at quick transitions, but we just can't get enough of the ball."
Maguire's form this season has been criticized, and since he became Captain Manchester United, his leadership temperament has not been convincing, and even some teammates have questioned why solso chose him to wear the armband. In this Manchester City derby, Maguire's form is still sluggish, and he has an important responsibility in the second goal conceded.
Former Manchester United assistant coach McLaren pointed out that Maguire and his teammates lack courage and dare not be as bold as Manchester City. The Blue Moons played away, but goalkeeper Edelson bravely lured United players closer to him on several occasions during the game before passing the ball to his teammates. "United have no courage," McLaren commented, "and it's already obvious that they lost their courage." De Gea, after 20 minutes, began frequent long passes. That's not the way the top four teams should play, and the strong teams have to be organized from the backcourt. And Manchester United only rely on free kicks, long passes, and directly find Ronaldo. This is unlikely to succeed. How much time does Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have at Manchester United? After losing this game, I don't think he has much time left."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's friend from the player era, Roy Keane, said bluntly that the manager was better off leaving Manchester United. "If you clash with people on the bus, you're just luke Shaw and Wan Bissaka by your side. Imagine that you can only rely on these guys." Keane raised his hands in surrender and said, "Ole (Ole Gunnar Solskjaer), you'd better get out of the car and run." I've been criticizing these guys for years, but I'm giving up now and I've decided to give up on these players. I couldn't understand their defense and had to give up."
Keane said he had lost faith in Manchester United: "United are in a bad situation, but there are still ways to get out of it. Is Ole the right person? That's the big deal. All I can say is that I hope for him, not believe in him. Ole couldn't seem to win, he had to look at himself in the mirror and say, 'I need to do better.'" I think he came to Manchester United in a difficult time, but he coached the biggest club in the world."
